oil filter Lancia Ypsilon 2020 Owner handbook (in English)

Warning light What it means
DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) CLEANING IN PROGRESS (Diesel versions with DPF)
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light (together with a dedicated message and a symbol on the display on some versions)
switches on constantly to notify the driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate captured pollutants
(particulate) through the regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on during every DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions
require that the driver is notified. To switch the warning light off, the vehicle must be kept moving until the
regeneration process is completed. On average, the process lasts 15 minutes. Optimal conditions for
completing the process are achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine speed above 2000 rpm.
When this warning light switches on, it does not indicate a vehicle failure and thus it should not be taken to
a workshop. On some versions, together with the warning light switching on, the display shows a
dedicated message.
40)
WARNING
40)Vehicle travel speed should always be adapted to the traffic and weather conditions, and must always comply with traffic regulations. The
engine can be stopped even if the DPF warning light is on: however, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason, it is always advisable to wait for the warning light to go off before turning the engine
off, following the instructions appearing above. Do not complete the DPF regeneration process when the vehicle is stopped.

filter every year.

REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long
journeys, check and, if necessary, top
up:
engine coolant, brake fluid and
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of windscreen washer/
wiper system and positioning/wear of
rear window wiper blades.
Every 3,000 km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
For cars with 0.9 TwinAir engines:
every3,000km check the engine oil
level and top it up to the maximum level
if necessary.
DEMANDING USE OF THE
CAR
If the car is used mainly under one of
the following conditions:
towing a trailer or caravan;
dusty roads;
short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 Km) at sub-zero outdoor
temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity;perform the following inspections more
frequently than shown on the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
check cleanliness of bonnet and
luggage compartment locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
visually inspect conditions of:
engine, gearbox, transmission, pipes
and hoses (exhaust/fuel system/brakes)
and rubber elements (gaiters/sleeves/
bushes, etc.);
check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
visually inspect conditions of the
accessory drive belts;
check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter;
check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner.

SERVICING AND CARE

ENGINE OIL
60)
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with
the vehicle parked on level ground.
For the 1.2 8V 69HP and 1.3 16V
Multijet versions
Take out the engine oil dipstick B, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract the engine oil dipstick again and
check that the level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
The range between the MIN. and MAX.
marks corresponds to about 1 litre of
oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN
line, add oil through the filler A until
it reaches the MAX line.
For 0.9 TwinAir versions
The engine oil dipstick A is integral with
cap A. Loosen the cap, clean the
dipstick with a cloth that does not leave
traces, reinsert the dipstick and
re-tighten the cap. Unscrew the plug
again and check that the engine oil level
is between the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick.Engine oil consumption
61)5)
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil
consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000
km.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
turning it off before you check the level.
ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
154)62)
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must
range between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, undo the reservoir
plug C (see previous pages) and add
the fluid as described in the chapter
"Technical Specifications".
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHING FLUID
155)
If the level is too low, raise reservoir cap
D (see previous pages) and add the
fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".BRAKE FLUID
156) 157)63)
Check that the fluid is at the maximum
level (the fluid level in the reservoir
must not exceed the MAX mark). If the
fluid level in the tank is too low, undo
reservoir cap E (see previous pages)
and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
NOTE Carefully clean the plug of the
reservoir E and the surrounding surface.
Take great care to ensure that
impurities do not enter the reservoir
when the cap is opened.
Always use a funnel with a built-in filter
with a mesh of 0.12 mm or less.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic
(i.e. it absorbs moisture). For this
reason, if the car is mainly used in areas
with a high degree of atmospheric
humidity, the fluid must be replaced at
more frequent intervals than specified in
the "Scheduled Servicing Plan".
